Chapter 181 Going Out

"Dayong brought some wheat-yellow apricots from home today. They are big and sweet, and very delicious. I have been eating apricots from this tree since I was a child. I dare not say that the apricots here are the most delicious, but I dare say that you cannot buy such sweet apricots in the surrounding villages."

Ye smiled and said, "Take it back and let Sui taste it. If you think it's delicious, come back and get more. We have several trees at home. You can't eat them all when they're ripe. Don't worry about not having enough."

"Okay, thank you, aunt." Zhuang Qingning thanked her, took the apricots and went home.

On the way, I met Ye Dayong who was coming back. I talked to him for a few more words and then continued walking back.

When I got home, Zhuang Qingsui had already returned from delivering pork heads to two families and was cutting them.

Although Zhuang Qingsui was already very skilled in all kinds of work, and cutting vegetables and meat was no problem at all, Zhuang Qingning was reluctant to let her, his only blood relative in the world and a lovely, sensible and obedient sister, do something dangerous, so he hurriedly took the kitchen knife.

"Let me do the chopping. You peel some green onions and wash two cilantro. Then mix them with the chili oil."

“Okay.” Zhuang Qingsui responded and hurried to peel onions and coriander.

The chili oil cooked by Zhuang Qingning looks red and tastes fragrant, but it is not very spicy. The pork head meat mixed with this chili oil has bright color, rich flavor, and enhances the flavor. It is delicious when paired with scallion pancakes and egg soup.

After dinner, the two sisters went to the tofu shop as usual and went back to sleep late at night.

The moon rises high, summer insects chirp, the breeze blows on your face, the branches sway, the hazy moonlight pours all over the ground, and the mottled shadows of the trees are looming.

A dark shadow slipped out from the crack in the door, tiptoed, and walked under a sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the dark.

Immediately afterwards, another black shadow followed, and the two black shadows walked quickly to the corner gate together.

"Sir, are you sure we can get out of this yard?" Chu Jinzhou clenched his sleeves uneasily and asked with his head raised.

Ever since Fan Wenxuan arrived here, in order to prevent him from taking Chu Jinzhou out to dangerous places without permission, Ning Feng has repeatedly instructed his subordinates and reminded them to keep a good gate.

As long as the gate is well controlled, no matter how unexpectedly Fan Wenxuan behaves, it is still within Qingzhu Garden and within the controllable range, so there will not be any major mistakes.

It is no exaggeration to say that Qingzhu Garden at this time was an iron wall. For him and Fan Wenxuan, it was extremely impossible for them to bribe the servants guarding the corner gate and sneak out of Qingzhu Garden quietly.

"Don't worry, I have already checked the terrain and made all the necessary preparations." Fan Wenxuan waved at Chu Jinzhou: "Come with me."

"Where are we going?" Chu Jinzhou asked.

"Go out." Fan Wenxuan replied in a low voice.

"But..." Chu Jinzhou was full of doubts: "Isn't the door here?"

"Silly student." Fan Wenxuan curled his lips, "This is indeed a door, but if you can't get out, then it can't be called a door. Go out, go out. Only a door that allows you to get out is called a door. You should at least be more flexible in your thinking. Don't always dwell on that word and get stuck in a dead end."

"Student understands." Chu Jinzhou agreed verbally, but he was still quite confused in his heart as he followed Fan Wenxuan to the side until they walked under a tung tree. When he saw Fan Wenxuan rolled up his sleeves and tucked a corner of his gown into his belt, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Sir, are you planning to climb up the tree and then jump out of it?"

"I finally understand." Fan Wenxuan gave Chu Jinzhou a displeased look.

If you say that this student of his is smart, then he is really smart.

He has an amazing memory for recognizing words, memorizing books, and practicing calligraphy. He can also understand the meaning of the book at a glance. Judging from his ability to read, he is a good student.

It's a pity that no one knows who taught Chu Jinzhou since he was a child. He is so mature at a young age, without any childish playfulness and liveliness. He is too sensible. No matter what his teacher proposes, he will not be surprised or refute.

When they occasionally disagreed, she would appeal to his emotions and reason with him, and he almost got calluses on his ears because of her words.

This Chu Jinzhou is far worse than Chu Jinnian who was famous for his bad temper. I really don't understand why these brothers can have such a big difference.

If you were to ask him to teach the young Chu Jinnian, it would probably be much more interesting. It's a pity that his personality is different when he grows up. Now Chu Jinnian is much more boring. Not only does he have a stern face all day long, but he also does things in a very disciplined manner, without any arrogance at all.

Boring, very boring! Fan Wenxuan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Chu Jinzhou saw this and asked worriedly, "Sir, what's wrong? Or are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Fan Wenxuan came back to his senses by the anxious voice. Looking at Chu Jinzhou's little face full of worry, he felt a little relieved.

Well, the advantage is that her heart is pure, and she is very attentive to him as a teacher, and she respects and loves him from the bottom of her heart.

As for this overly rule-abiding personality...

I will teach you slowly later. Aren’t we teaching you now?

Thinking of this, Fan Wenxuan felt a little relieved. He just raised his hand and said, "It's okay, don't worry." Then he pulled down the rope that he had prepared in advance.

"I have been eyeing this spot for a long time. This tree is tall, with thick branches that extend out from the wall. I just need to grab the rope and climb up the tree, then jump along the branches to the top of the wall, and then jump out from the top of the wall. Then everything will be fine."

Fan Wenxuan pulled the rope and climbed up a little: "Master will show you an example first and wait for you on the tree. If you can't come up later, I can pull you up."

"Yes." Chu Jinzhou nodded, and reminded: "Sir, please be careful and watch your step."

"It's alright, that's totally irrelevant. Forget about this tree. In the past, even when I was climbing a mountain, I could just wear a pair of Xie Gong clogs and walk as if on flat ground."

As Fan Wenxuan spoke, he had already sat down on the branch and threw the rope in his hand to Chu Jinzhou: "Hurry up, don't let those servants find out."

"Yeah." Chu Jinzhou nodded, and followed Fan Wenxuan's example, tying the corner of his gown around his waist. After rubbing his palms, he pulled the rope, stepped on the tree trunk, and climbed up little by little.

After all, he had never done these things on a daily basis. Although Chu Jinzhou was small and nimble, he still put in a lot of effort, and even had help from Fan Wenxuan, before he was able to sit on the branch.

"Finally I'm up." Chu Jinzhou breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away the beads of sweat on his forehead that appeared due to nervousness.
